Top 10 Best Things to Build a Minecraft House Out Of
When you are in survival and want to make wooden planks, just cut the trunks of the trees, then go to the crafting table, and they give you 4 wooden planks.
It has it all: a framing block, slabs and stairs, a wall block (fences), a similarly-colored glass block. Wood is my favorite block to use! Aside from a mixture of snow/quartz.
True, wooden planks are the most common blocks for building a house in Minecraft. They are also easy to get.
I built my base out of cobblestone. No need to worry about fires, and you can get creative by using stone bricks, stone slabs, and more.
Sure, diamond and obsidian are cooler looking. But do you really want to go through all that hard work finding them just to build when you can do better things with them, like making tools or enchanting?
Cobblestone is the ideal block to create a medieval fortress. Not only does a medieval fortress look good, but it also provides ample space for mob grinders, storage areas, and redstone circuitry.
Obsidian is very durable and 100% explosion-proof. Raiders are less likely to choose your base because it takes ages to break, it can't be blown up, and they'll be intimidated since diamonds are required to gather obsidian. Nether survival is also required.
Obsidian is really hard to obtain, but you can always get it in the End. In fear of the Ender Dragon, place water on the side of a pillar and dig so you can get under the island. Then, build your house there!
I did that, and no one blew me up or broke my house. All of the players on my server only had stone pickaxes.
If you are building a house in the canopy of a Roofed Forest, leaving the leaves already present and working with them is usually a good idea. Make sure to keep track of your coordinates.
Also, ensure that you do not modify the outer canopy in any way, as that attracts attention from other players and exposes your base.
Just build your house in a tree. No mobs can get to you, you have free wood, and a nice view. This works especially well in Roofed Forests.
Yeah, this would be like a treehouse without wood! You don't need to build or gather, and you'll always wake up to a beautiful sunrise! However, you will have to get down to kill animals unless you go to other trees and live off apples.
No mobs can attack you, and you can just make a huge world in the trees.

I chose a diamond house because I think it would be a good idea for a house. I'm not sure if my house is going to explode, so technically I'm 50/50 with the diamond house.
Best block to use because all the others will know to stay away from you!
You will be rich if you have a diamond house, so I vote for diamonds!
If you are building in the rustic style, bricks are by far the best possible block. However, bricks aren't good for any other style, and it can be time-consuming to collect and smelt the clay required.
I used to build most of my Minecraft houses out of bricks.
Bricks just look so rustic and natural.
Quartz is a good material to build your house out of. If a player tries to fight you in Minecraft, they will probably think twice after seeing all that quartz, since it can only be found in the Nether.
Quartz just looks so nice in a building. It's modern if you build it with the right sort of blocks. You'll look really cool as well because you've got to go to the Nether to get it.
Quartz is a wonderful block I use for EVERYTHING! Although hard to obtain in survival, it does the trick in creative. I highly recommend this block!
If you build a house underground, using the stone already present fits the atmosphere of an underground or basement area better than any other block. Whether or not you keep the granite, diorite, andesite, gravel, and dirt you find there is up to you.
However, don't use regular stone on the surface unless it is inside a house built of another material. If you use regular stone in a house made mostly of cobblestone or stone bricks, regular stone can add some variety.
It also looks good for a house in the End, but building anything in the End comes with its own challenges. One of these is the difficulty of accessing the house from the Overworld or vice versa.
Stone bricks are the perfect block to create a medieval fortress. Not only does a medieval fortress look good, but it also provides ample space for mob grinders, storage areas, and redstone circuitry.
While it looks better than cobblestone for a project like this, obtaining enough stone bricks can be challenging unless you tear apart a stronghold brick by brick.
Stone bricks have the best textures in all of Minecraft. They blend perfectly with smooth stone, have a bunch of variants, and just have an overall coziness to them.
Keep dem fires a-burnin'.

A combination of regular purpur blocks and purpur pillars creates the perfect color and texture for a fantasy or futuristic base, if you are willing to spend the time collecting the purpur needed.
The only way to obtain purpur without breaking down end cities is from popped chorus fruit. While chorus fruit is very common in the outer End islands, you have to smelt it into popped chorus fruit to craft purpur blocks.
Purpur is for me, not for you. I like the End. Don't change my mind - just use it. I love it.
My favorite part about these houses is when you can't escape from them.
Unlike regular netherrack, nether brick looks aesthetically pleasing in the Overworld. Mixing regular nether brick with red nether brick creates a particularly nice effect, though it can take a long time to obtain the red nether brick.
Not only is nether brick aesthetically pleasing, but the Nether is also easy to access. You only need flint, iron, water, and lava. Once you reach the Nether, netherrack is plentiful and easy to smelt.
It's good. It will make you look like a Nether boss.
My friend built me a house of bedrock in her world and then turned it creative so her brother couldn't break in and steal my stuff.
Haxxer: dumb mod, you can never touch me!
Mod: you cheater... *gets angry*
And you cannot get it without creative mode or special permissions.
I can add a pressure plate and iron door, and it withstands so many attacks!
I did that before. Spiders can get over it, though.
Lots of peepholes, I guess?
I don't know why, but it's a great survival alternative to iron bars.
Ever since SkyDoesMinecraft introduced me to butter, I have been crazy about butter!
I knew butter would show up sooner or later, but I wasn't expecting it this early!
Using rare materials and wood would be a waste. Dirt is perfect: you seem humble, it is plentiful, meaning you can easily rebuild, it is immune to lava, etc.
I make dirt houses when I'm in survival because I don't have anything else. That's until I find a village or get enough wood.
I always build my first house out of dirt on the side of a cave.
It's almost creeper-proof. I made a house out of terracotta in Minecraft, and then a creeper blasted it. My house didn't break!
I normally use white or colored terracotta when I build houses in Minecraft.
I love the look of stained clay.
I built an underwater house of glass in one of my worlds. It was so cool!
Nice, but you can't place torches. Why aren't there pillars?
I love snow way more than anyone does. I am a crazy snow lover.
Very lit up and Halloweeny.
Without doors, some mobs can easily step into your house.
If you touch your TNT house, it will blow up!
